Investigative Post: Jim Heaney interviews Jordan Levy

Jordan Levy is one of Western New York's most successful entrepreneurs in recent times.

He might be best known to local residents as the former chairman of the Erie Harbor Canal Development Corp., which is developing Canalside. He served in that capacity for four years before stepping down in 2011. During that time he first supported the controversial plan to construct a Bass Pro store in the inner-harbor then lead the EHCDC in its embrace of a more popular approach dubbed "lighter, faster, cheaper."
